Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons.
Rubio’s list still left Ukraine out.
ㅤ
Rep. Bill Keating confronted Secretary of State Marco Rubio over his opening remarks, saying Rubio listed global priorities and achievements but did not mention Ukraine once.
ㅤ
Keating reminded him that Ukraine once held the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal and gave it up under the Budapest Memorandum. The legal word was “assurances.” The moral word was promise.
ㅤ
Now Ukraine is fighting the nuclear power that broke its word — and still has to fight not to be treated as an afterthought.
ㅤ
Ukraine isn't just fighting for Ukraine. They're fighting against Russian aggression that threatens democracy there, all over Europe, and even here.
We have bipartisan support in the House and the Senate. That's why we forced a vote on legislation that would support Ukraine's fight to defend their freedom. We're not in power, but we're not powerless.
I just voted for a bipartisan discharge petition to support Ukraine's defense and impose tougher sanctions on Vladimir Putin's war machine.
More than four years after Putin launched his illegal invasion, Ukraine continues to defy the odds. The Ukrainian people have fought with extraordinary courage, resilience, and determination.
This vote is a statement of confidence in Ukraine's future. I will continue standing with the Ukrainian people as they fight for their freedom, sovereignty, and democracy.

“We don’t get many moments to celebrate as Ukrainians,” - Ambassador @StefanishynaO told me after the House passed the Ukraine Support Act (H.R. 2913).
KATERYNA LISUNOVA: First of all, describe your feelings. What do you think about this bill that just passed, the first under this administration? What do you think does it mean, and how helpful it could be for Ukraine?
OLHA STEFANISHYNA: Thank you so much. We do not have a lot of moments to celebrate as Ukrainians, as we're keep on going through the darkest times of our history.
But I think this is the moment where we can reserve a second to celebrate the unbelievable unity we had in the House of Representative today, which really passed with the overwhelming number of votes, bipartisan bill to support Ukraine.
First, again, you're very rightly saying this is the first legal act which is comprehensive, which has been passed under this political cycle in the United States. Second, this is the first ever bill of that kind that ever been passed on Ukraine at the level of the House of Representatives.
EL.CASO ZAMORA ESTA BIEN IDENTIFICADO,PARA ILUSOS,TONTOS UTILES E INGENUOS
De Genesio Antulio Vidal
INFORME TÉCNICO: EL CASO ZAMORA DESDE LA AUDITORÍA FORENSE Y LA EVIDENCIA MATERIAL
Más allá de las narrativas políticas, el caso contra José Rubén Zamora se fundamenta en elementos tangibles de criminalística financiera, simulación contable y quiebre del gobierno corporativo. Al aplicar un escrutinio estrictamente técnico a los hechos presentados por el Ministerio Público, esta es la radiografía "de la A a la Z" de la evidencia material que sostiene la acusación por lavado de dinero y chantaje.
A. La Denuncia y la Evidencia Sonora (El Origen)
El caso no inicia con una persecución abstracta, sino con la denuncia directa de Ronald García Navarijo (exdirectivo del Bantrab). La evidencia clave aquí son las grabaciones clandestinas. En estos audios no se discuten líneas editoriales, sino transacciones financieras irregulares: la negociación explícita para triangular Q300,000 en efectivo y convertirlos en un cheque de una empresa fachada para ingresarlos limpios al sistema bancario, evadiendo los controles de la Intendencia de Verificación Especial (IVE).
B. La Evidencia Física: El Efectivo y la Trazabilidad
Se incautaron físicamente los Q300,000. La defensa argumentó que provenían de donaciones aisladas o ahorros de empresarios anónimos. Sin embargo, la auditoría forense encontró una bandera roja letal: los billetes estaban agrupados en fajos con cintillos originales de Banrural. Esto destruye la coartada del "goteo de donaciones" y demuestra que el dinero provino de un retiro concentrado e institucional, evidenciando una inyección de capital anómala.
C. La Simulación Contable: La Fachada del Arte
Para justificar legalmente el ingreso de ese dinero a Aldea Global, S.A. (empresa editora de elPeriódico), se utilizó la tipología más clásica de blanqueo de capitales: la venta de un activo de valor subjetivo.
La factura: Se emitió un documento por la supuesta venta de una pintura del artista Elmar Rojas.
La inconsistencia: El comprador denunció que le dieron el certificado de autenticidad de la obra "Paisaje de Grandes Encuentros", pero físicamente le entregaron otra obra ("De los Nahuales") sin certificación.
El análisis: La pintura se utilizó como un vehículo contable para que el papel aguantara el peso de los Q300,000, una clara simulación para distorsionar el valor razonable y ocultar la estratificación del efectivo.
D. El Quiebre del Control Interno (La Confesión)
El golpe más contundente a la presunción de inocencia financiera vino desde adentro. Flora Silva, la gerente financiera de la empresa, no fue a juicio: se acogió a la Ley de Aceptación de Cargos. Confesó ante juez competente haber estructurado el fraude contable y maquillado los libros por instrucciones directas de la dirección. Cuando la persona encargada de firmar los estados financieros admite la simulación, la defensa técnica del directivo colapsa.
E. Tráfico de Influencias y Chantaje
Las grabaciones y testimonios exponen que la triangulación no era un favor, sino un trueque de poder. A cambio de que Navarijo bancarizara el efectivo de Zamora, este último ofreció utilizar sus conexiones en las altas esferas de la fiscalía para "limpiar" el expediente legal de Navarijo y liberar sus cuentas embargadas. Adicionalmente, se expuso el modelo de extorsión corporativa: perfilar a funcionarios o empresarios y exigir inyecciones de capital bajo la amenaza de destruir su reputación en la portada del diario.
F. Falsificación Documental
Durante los allanamientos, las autoridades encontraron documentos, contratos y pagarés con fechas manipuladas (antedatados). En términos de auditoría, fabricar respaldos contables después de que ocurre un hecho irregular, intentando cuadrar la ecuación financiera ante una investigación inminente, constituye un fraude documental tipificado.
Hilo ⬇️
By supporting Ukraine, we deter aggression everywhere, combat authoritarianism and reaffirm that the United States does not abandon those who fight for freedom.
While some have been unwilling to stand up to Vladimir Putin, the Congress must.
Tonight, House Democrats did.

Why do some people mistake kindness for weakness?
Ballistic missiles are Russia’s last remaining argument in this war, and we must find sufficient countermeasures. I thank our partners and Mark Rutte that the PURL initiative exists and is functioning – contributions were made this May. There will be contributions in June as well. Today, we discussed how we can accelerate and expand deliveries under this key program.
I also thank all our partners who are already working with us on joint production and helping with funding so that weapons production in Ukraine can continue to grow. We discussed with the NATO Secretary General several other things that could provide Ukraine with stronger long-term financial security guarantees. We will keep working on this at both the G7 Summit and the NATO Summit in Ankara.
Sanctions against Russia. Our long-range capabilities. Financing for Ukraine. Our political cooperation. And our partners’ determination to help Ukraine precisely when help is needed – all of this sends signals to Russia that this war will bring it no results. All of this is also an incentive for Russia to turn to diplomacy. And we very much hope that over the summer and autumn we will be able to bring a real peace closer – a fair and dignified peace. I thank everyone who is helping. Thank you, @SecGenNATO!
Russia, the aggressor, should not get to make demands on Ukraine, the victim.
Instead, we should demand limitations on Russian military capabilities, as they pose the sole threat and are committing genocide in Ukraine
Rubio: "Invasion of Ukraine has been strategic disaster for Russians. They are not going to achieve objectives they set out on day one, for certain, and they may not even be able to, militarily, ever achieve objectives they're demanding now in negotiations.
Ukrainians not only bravely fighting, they're effectively fighting. Ukrainians have actually made some battlefield gains in the last month as well.
Russians are losing 5,000 — not injured, but dying. In fact, according to Department of Defense, it is one of the first conflicts ever in which death rate is higher than casualty rate, on Russian side. It's the first time ever that you have more deaths than casualties."
It is not too late to stand with Ukraine and win. Help us bring Russia to the breaking point where it can no longer sustain this war.
Ukrainians are performing miracles on the battlefield, and you can help strangle Russian war machine economically and save Ukrainian civilians with air defense. Let’s win together!
@ZelenskyyUa Ukraine should create their own club! Ukraine is the reason why the West aren’t having to fight in the war! Ukraine is the reason why we should never take our lives for granted! We should be thankful to all in Ukraine who sacrifice their lives for our freedom everyday! 🇺🇦
There is progress in our negotiations with the European Union regarding Ukraine’s membership. We will have a very clear schedule of opportunities for moving forward in the negotiations, especially after the changes in Hungary. We met the deadlines. Now, already in June, we strongly expect to move to the opening of the clusters, which Ukraine has prepared. We've done our part. Now it’s up to the European Union.
🇺🇦☢️ “We can build nuclear weapons if we want” – Shtilerman sends a deliberate shockwave to the Kremlin
Denis Shtilerman, chief designer at Fire Point, said bluntly that Ukraine could build its own nuclear weapons if necessary.
That doesn’t mean Ukraine is doing so — but it is a strategic signal aimed directly at Moscow.
What the statement really means:
Ukraine reminds that the country has scientific capabilities
It is a message of deterrence, not a program
It responds to Russia’s recurring nuclear threats
It signals that Ukraine will not be left without options if the security situation collapses
Why this is so charged:
Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in 1994 through the Budapest Memorandum
Russia broke guarantees → Ukraine signals that the game plan may change
The statement comes from a person leading the development of FP-9 and other long-range systems
This is the first time such a high-ranking industry figure has said this publicly
The strategic impact:
This is not a threat to build nuclear weapons.
It is a message to Putin:
“If you think we are technically incapable — think again.”
It is psychological deterrence, not policy.
Source: Public statement by Denis Shtilerman in Ukrainian media. Always confirm political information with a reliable source.
Marco Rubio acknowledged that Ukrainians are fighting effectively.
Now imagine what Ukraine could have achieved if every promised weapon had arrived on time — or arrived at all.
